This is avery special milestone in the company’s history. As we reach our 350th year, we are reminded of the inventions that we have pioneered.
Innovation is at the very heart of Saint-Gobain, and gives us many reasons to believe in the future.
There is strength in our history, as it proves that we can continue to innovate, reinvent ourselves over time and meet the demands of an ever changing world.
Sustainable habitat is within our reach, and if we continue to innovate as we have throughout our rich history, habitat for everyone is achievable.
Our experience and achievements are the building blocks of a strong future, and so this year gives us a unique opportunity to celebrate our past and the optimism we have about our future through a wide range of events throughout 2015, peaking on our official anniversary date Thursday, 15th October.
